"My first experience with masonry repair, so all I can tell you is that the end result of filling holes and skim-coating of the wall base in my garage looks very nice. Randy and his crew were professional and easy to talk to, answering all my questions. They were very considerate of surrounding areas, including the driveway. I made an extra request as they were getting ready to leave and Randy and the crew completed my request with no problems/issues (although it was a Saturday and I'm sure they wanted to start their weekends)."

Customers say: Quick response

"Reliable, punctual, and attentive to detail. There were two phases to our project: 1) install an artificial "grass" area within an enclosure (fenced) for our dogs; and 2) trim low-hanging branches of trees and take down 2-3 smaller trees so as to get more sunlight into the area. Mike and his crew did the artificial turf job alone, and worked with a subcontractor for the tree work. The artificial surface is in the "so-far, so-good" stage, and we are very pleased with this result. The tree clearing and trimming was also done at a very reasonable cost, and the service of Lawn Legends and their sub-contractor was exceptional."

"The service aspect of this business was exceptional, beyond even the quality of work. When the owner was going to be late, he texted and advised me he was going to be late. It turned out he was only one hour late, but still took the time to contact me. The work was excellent. Instead of trying to sell me new bricks, he knocked the mortar off the old bricks, and used them. The bricks were of an odd size, and the other contractors wanted more than $250.00 just for the bricks! The price was more than reasonable."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.

Drilling into brick doesn’t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it’s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall’s structural integrity. Applying too much force can crack or chip the brick, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength. 

You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.

A fireplace hearth is a fireproof flooring material that extends out from the base of the fireplace and into the room. Hearths can be made of brick, ceramic, marble, limestone, and more. A hearth serves the purpose of decreasing the fire risk in the area directly around the fireplace. If flying embers hit carpet or wood, they’ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they’ll simply go out.

Yes, an outdoor fireplace should use fire bricks. Fire bricks are specially designed to withstand high levels of heat and thus won’t crack as easily as regular bricks when exposed to the intense heat inside a fireplace.
